Mission Impossible Dead Reckoning - Movie Review

Just like every other Mission Impossible movie, it starts with an action scene where someone or people are usually killed or kidnapped because of a dangerous weapon in the hands of the government, and so on.

Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) is then shown in the next scene of the film (still looking as fit as ever) where he is given a box. As usual, the box contains information on his next mission with the usual mission briefing and a stern warning about his rogue behaviour (brother we are watching the movie because of his rogue actions). 

Anyway, forward to the next scene, where a bunch of Government officials are discussing with the big boss and they brief him on the need to get their hands on a technological entity that seems to have a mind of its own, hacking into databases and confusing different sectors across different countries. 

From breaching Saudi Arabia’s General Intelligence Directorate to penetrating world banks. And since it distorts itself into any system it automatically means that anything they see digitally cannot be trusted. (Who in their right mind created such a system? Why can’t we leave things alone).

Ethan infiltrates the meeting and puts everyone to sleep except the Head of The I.M.F. because he wants a private audience with him concerning the morals of the mission and informs him of his private agenda (classic rogue agent). The boss gives him the boss-to-employee speech yada, yada, yada but our guy still stays on his high horse despite the threats.

As expected our guy now has a bounty on his head and is to be taken down as his agenda doesn't match with “national interests”. He is described to the team assigned to take him down as a mind-reading, shape-shifting incarnation of chaos. (A bit too much if you ask me, he’s just fighting for the greater good).

Ethan meets up with his old buddies, the OGs of the movie franchise and if you can’t remember their faces, watch it to find out. Anyway, Ethan has one-half of a key that has the means of controlling the entity I mentioned earlier.

They draw up a plan that allows a prominent buyer to take half of the key to know what it unlocks and how dangerous it might be. All supervised of course. 

Now here’s the best part, while Ethan walks freely into the airport where they plan to meet the buyer, his tech buddies hack into the system of his bounty hunters and send them on a wild goose chase along with some other interesting events. Like Ethan meeting a beautiful thief with a long sheet of crimes.

I love this movie because it wasn’t short of firearms and crazy stunts done by your one and only Tom Cruise and other people I don't think I cared about for more than 2 minutes. Tom Crusie is always the man of the moment when it comes to Mission Impossible movies.

Now this movie is too good to just be read in a movie review. Considering I’m giving it a 7/10 rating, you deserve to watch it in a cinema, eating popcorn and sipping a chilled soda and screaming with your fellow watchers. It is currently showing in Cinemas worldwide and it is worth the watch.
